12 V
Power24 W

Fill in the two known values according to what you chose to calculate.

How the calculation works

Ohm's law relates voltage, current and resistance: V = R × I, giving I = V/R and R = V/I. Power is P = V × I.

Examples

  • 12 V and 4 Ω resistance: I = 12 ÷ 4 = 3 A.
  • Power: 12 V × 3 A = 36 W.

Frequently asked questions

What is 1 ohm?

It is the resistance that lets 1 ampere flow under 1 volt.

How to remember the formula?

The VIR triangle: V on top, I and R below. Cover what you want: V = I×R, I = V/R, R = V/I.

How to find power?

P = V × I (watts). You can also use P = I²×R or P = V²/R.
